Folks it is an hour until #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Soon a horde of nerds will comment on a cheesy film we all watch together, consuming your timeline in a hedonistic frenzy! If you'd like to avoid that, consider muting the tag.

If you'd like to join in, this week's film is BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS (1980), a Roger Corman classic. It's available on a variety of free streaming services, or on Archive.org: https://archive.org/details/battle-beyond-the-stars-1980

Recently watched Gremlins. The forgotten 80s Christmas movie. This should be up there with Die Hard and Home Alone!

Watched a trailer for a film because it looked interesting to me. A well known actor returning to a story after several years. But as I watched something didn't seem right. Something didn't fit.

Turns out it was a bullshit AI creation in which said actor was just inserted with other footage into a completely false "trailer". Further research showed me there are hundreds of these things. All of them are completely pointless.

Dragging us to hell one fake trailer at a time.

I see the fires in LA as the burning of the old world. #Hollywood is the single most recognizable cultural thing of the 20th century, and along with everything else in the last few years, it's going down in flames.

Very sorry for the people who are losing their homes, but the amount of homelessness in LA tells me that others lost their home years earlier already, and no one batted an eye.

I ask folk on #Fedi to recommend good movies and get many diverse replies.

And I am reminded how so many people do not realise that they are wrong.

I haven't seen Weird Science for a long time and it looks kinda crappy and maybe it should be called Crappy Science.

I couldn't sleep tonight, or not enough. I wanted to watch a movie, discovered #Monsterdon, but ended writing this instead.

But, I will watch a movie this Wednesday @ 9PM GMT, in sync with anyone interested on the #fediverse!

We just need a hashtag for that!

In Crocodile Dundee 2 I want to see a movie about the indigenous characters instead.

You know the guy who plays Donk in Corocdile Dundee?

Is he just Shane MacGowan?

I just watched some of Poor Things but stopped out a shear boredom and apathy towards every single character in it.

Max's Blog — First Impressions Review Diary 4-Jan-2025 https://maxle2000.wordpress.com/2025/01/04/first-impressions-4-jan-2025/
I've also uploaded a video version concurrently (attached as a reply). It was supposed to go up four months ago, but for reasons explained in the intro, I wasn't able to finish it until now, so it's covering six months' worth of my mini reviews.

What #movies would you say have good endings?

And I mean properly better-than-average endings.

Because a lot of stories, like say, Star Wars, have typical endings that have to happen, but aren't better than average.

Two I can think of are:

Rocky

and Mary Poppins

Any more?

You know what would be a great #Cinema?

One where you get to choose what's showing so it'll always be a film you want to watch.

And one that comes to you! Yes, instead of having to leave the house in all sorts of weather, the cinema just comes to you.

You get to sit on a comfy sofa, with your own drinks and food and you can pause the film at any time so you can go to toilet, and you can watch all the movies you own in your collection.

Why doesn't someone invent that?

Question for the hive mind: where does one find investors for film projects? Is there a digital watering hole around which they gather?

I think Beetlejuice is Michaels Keaton's best acting he's ever done.

I know this has been the case for years, but when exactly did PG-13 go from being well... 1980s PG-13 to "PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!!"

The highlight of this "Rare Look Inside Apple's Secret iPhone 16 Camera Labs" is the mention of the new "Audio Mix" feature.

- Shoot a video on your iPhone
- Open the video in Photos
- Tap the edit button (looks like 3 sliders)
- Tap "Audio Mix"

Play around with it. If you make use of the built in iPhone mics, this is for you.

After taking my youngest to see Sonic 3 at the cinema today I will lead the call in demanding to see a Dr Robotnik movie in which Jim Carey is in EVERY scene. As much as my son LOVED it, I thought scenes without Robotnik were unbearable. And there weren't nearly enough scenes with Robotnik in them (which they obviously tried to compensate for by having Carey play two different Robotniks).

Speaking of #SergioLeone

You know why the sound in his movies is particularly deep sounding?

It's because he didn't record sound on set. All the dialogue is overdubbed.

On set, he'd have the Morricone music playing.

I watched Krull many moons ago, in a time much different to this one, in a world long forgotten.

It looks a bit crappy.

And another things about #PlanesTrainsAndAutomobiles is how there is some clever foreshadowing in it.

First is Steve Martin's watch, which gets a nice close up, bringing in time as central to the premise, but also as a valuable object used later in the movie.

Then there's John Candy's trunk, which I guess is a metaphor for Candy's character, being a dead weight, holding Martin back.

There's even the mention of Martin forgetting his gloves, then later in desperate need of gloves.

The movies Three Men and A Baby and Three Men and a Little Lady are basically the TV show Friends before the TV show Friends.
